[@deuceswild9415]

Red Farmer Is a national treasure to NASCAR.

[@micahkinton]

Red seems like he’d be an awesome grandpa with a lot of stories to tell

[@mikegrey5663]

Like Jr said he is going to have to have Red on his podcast

[@ChucksPullingVideos]

What an absolute legend. Amazing speech too. Red's a guy you could sit down and chat for hours with, and never get tired of hearing his stories. What an honor for him to be inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame! A true racer through and through.

[@murdiesel]

"It's like sitting in an electric chair with a drunk playing with the switch"! Love it Red! You are the embodiment of what racing was and is! Thank you sir! DALE JR GET HIM ON THERE!

[@user-cs3zs6jn1d]

Can't wait for that episode.

[@jetsracingdesigns]

A class act and proof that just because your name isn't as known as everyone else doesn't mean you aren't among the most passionate. An icon getting the honor he deserves.

[@papadragon695]

Red Farmer is an absolute legend

[@rockinredneck57]

My first racing hero from 1964. Watched him race a 56c Ford against Coo Coo Marlin at Nashville. I was hooked! So glad to see Red in the Nascar Hall of Fame. Well deserved.

[@glassturf5584]

Congratulations to Red Farmer!!! 🏁 Sportsman Division - 🏆🏆🏆 Modifieds - 🏆

[@billp5656]

He is very well know in the south . When the F-97 rolled into the pits you were probably racing for second place. He should already be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He’s already in several . Congratulations Red !

[@rickroth7640]

On a handshake, Not anymore, to much greed in this world nowadays, great job Mr Red Farmer and your volunteer crew!!🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁👏👏👏

[@robertmagnuson8068]

i have been watching red and the allisons since they first came to alabama in 1959 and from the first time i saw them you knew these guys were special. the famous alabama gang are legendary.

[@mikegrey5663]

Sitting in an electric chair with a drunk playing with the switch 😂😂

[@joshgreen3648]

I love this speech

[@matthewwatson8675]

I consider Red Farmer as my grandpa because when I was younger I watched him at florence raceway and my grandpa was best friends with him I went inside his trailer everyday he raced we were best buddys and im glad to see this happen to red he really deserves it he is a real treasure.

[@claytonharris9038]

I love listening to these stories. I can sit and listen for hours. Congratulations to Red Farmer.

[@BluDog35]

My mother and Red's mother shared a birthday. That's awesome.

[@garycrews1800]

I remember being a kid in the 60s at nashville fairgrounds whenever red Bobby and Donnie showed up you knew it was gonna be a helluva race. I miss those days. Much respect to you red

[@johnmanley7859]

Here comes that Alabama Gang !

[@D33JAY5]

I watched this man race dirt late models in summer of 2002. I remember it vividly. I was 11 years old. This man lapped the entire field 4-5 times In a 50 lap race. This was in a small town named cottonwood Alabama. About 4 hours south of talladega. He blew a motor up that Friday night testing. Called some boys up that night around midnight. And 4 boys showed up about 5 in the morning with a brand new car that had never touched dirt and had never been driven. And that's the car and man I watched wipe the floor up with a bunch of 20 and 30 yr old ,hot shot, super late model drivers. Man is a legend.

[@tylerrussell1339]

Get red on Juniors download ! We need more Red, while he’s still with us !!

[@johnchance4374]

Awesome Memories watching Red Farmer RACE in Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway

[@TDCENTER68]

I love red farmer 😍 and mike S

[@stephenbraden6239]

You've got to Love and Respect Ol Red!

[@phillipavennennemannjr605]

Goodvidio

[@Razz415]

What great stories. Congrats Red.

[@RalHellcat]

That speech was awesome 😎👍. Red should have his own TV show…. “The Racing Adventures of Red Farmer”…. He could tell one of his Racing Stories on his show each week.. So good, that show would go 5-10 seasons at least. Sign me up. Let’s Go! FS1 could broadcast it. And If NBCSN had it, the station wouldn’t have shut down.

[@pumpkinking5174]

Now that's a racer!

[@DorothySeals-br7iz]

A treasure due to his honesty and authenticity. He is the nascar driver I admire most. Humility, humor, and generous spirit are rare today. I hope to meet him someday

[@c.blakerockhart1128]

Congratulations Red. There will NEVER be another like you. I met Red at STARS restaurant in Anniston way back in the 80s. He was just like anybody else that you would meet, except for the fact that EVERYONE knew who he was. I watched him race at Talladega the next day, he was caught up in a crash with about half the field. So he didn't finish very well that day. I saw him that next night back at Stars, he and several other drivers were laughing and talking about the race and they were comparing the level of damage that they all got. Red said he was second in "THAT PARTICULAR FINISH" . 😎

[@mvhoyt61able]

I could listen to this man all day. A true legend. Cherish the history and its storytellers.

[@lanbrick5826]

Mr Farmer is what Nascar was! It’s a shame the drivers today have no class or manner’s. Back then NASCAR was family Now it’s me me me.

[@castelnausci7315]

Mister Red Farmer you are pure gold. Love you so much

[@hollywood4241]

Red was in the helicopter with Davey Allison when he was killed at Talladega. I was lucky enough in the 60s and 70s to see Red Farmer along with other Nascar Hall of Fame drivers race at Old Dominion Speedway in Manassas Virginia. Even better was when my dad would take us down into the pits after the races to see the cars and meet the drivers. Richard and Lee Petty...Bobby Allison...Ned Jarrett....Junior Johnson....Neil Bonnett...Darrell and Michael Waltrip...... Morgan Shephard and David Pearson. Tragically Tiny Lund raced at Old Dominion the night before he was killed at Talladega Superspeedway in 1975.

[@mytoytoo]

That's how I learned of Red Farmer, in the helicopter with Davey.

[@phillipavennennemannjr605]

Goodvidio

[@StickA-yd4fp]

Old school cool. Red will always be a living legend.

[@matthewthompson89]

[@zachg9065]

[@bradthomas2742]

I'm so proud so say I eat lunch with this man about 18 years ago in rockmart ga,he couldn't hardly hear then,but damn just being in his presence was a honor for a race fan,the restaurant was full ,but no one but me and the other 3 at the table knew that a legend was in the room,I kinda loved that.he really is down to earth as he appears.

[@deweyseymour4268]

A great man

[@vinewood8295]

Damn ole boy here ole Red, truly the last of the old guard i'll be damned....

[@DorothySeals-br7iz]

He is always entertaining and funny. Love to hear him tell stories.

[@richardingramlaw4261]

What a Great Man!

[@Cbazz]

What a legend ❤️

[@tcjohnson3437]

What took so long Nascar ? Should have been in the first few classes, a long time ago.

[@ThechaseShreda]

Nascar is the Best motorsport

[@AlanFernandoGamino]

Dang right

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Well.........it used to be. I'm 60 yrs old, I've been a die-hard fan since they first started televising only part of the races leading into the early '70's. I continued watching the races every weekend all the way through 2008 or so. I also attended multiple Daytona 500's and "Firecracker 400's" because I only live 90 minutes from Daytona.....and let me tell ya: I know for a fact I'm speaking for hundreds of thousands of lifelong, hardcore NASCAR race fans when I say that NASCAR has done just about everything an idiot can dream up to destroy the sport. They took North America's largest & most popular spectator sport........a motor sport that was the best of all of em.......something that was perfect and unbroken.........jacked it all out of shape with incredibly stupid ideas, rule & schedule changes, got rid of many historic race tracks, and basically tried to turn it into "the NFL/NBA on wheels". They traded a perfect common sense points system & traded it for a stupid, complicated points system and "the Chase"......"racing periods" ( I thought only females are suppose to have "periods" ), and today's drivers spend more time on stages behind microphones than they do actually driving the race car, or helping the team with getting them ready. Most of the younger drivers today know next to nothing about building a race car, and they damn sure couldn't handle racing 500 straight miles non-stop, ( aside from cautions. ) Today, they get their "racing periods"........I guess so they can all take a break to eat ice cream or snow cones. The retired ( or deceased ) veteran drivers were TWICE the man that most drivers are today, and everyone knows it. NASCAR literally shit on the hardcore race fans to try & attract "new fans" that never understood or appreciated stock car racing to begin with. SO MANY fans left, that they had to tear down huge sections of grandstands at most tracks, just so they could bunch up all the spectators, to make it look like "a bigger crowd" for the TV camera's. Each stable is a member of a car owner with so many race teams, if you're not a driver for these bigger owners with all these race teams WORKING TOGETHER ON THE TRACK, you don't stand a chance of winning. I feel sorry for all the younger race fans, because what we had from decades before was REAL nascar racing.........racing that was FAR MORE exciting than what they are today. "Nextel" and "Sprint" took over BUDWEISER & WINSTON as major sponsors for the races. It all sucks compared to before.......

[@tkphillips1377]

If we still had these kind of men growing up, what a wonderful world this would be!!

[@genemartin6962]

A Racers racer.....Red Famer

[@dirtracejunkies5957]

Best HOF speech

[@steventweed3599]

I LOVE Red! He is fantastic.

[@lucky-rowe2623]

A true driver when he starts saying the names of his sponsors in a Hall of Frame speech!! Driving Super Speedways is still like sitting in The Electric Chair with a Drunk playing with the switch! LOL

[@tonybranch7529]

I really like junior but would have to say Red stole this show.🤠🏳️🏁🇺🇸

[@jesternangel]

THIS MAN IS THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT RACING USED TO STAND FOR.. 90 YEARS OLD AND STILL PLUGGING AWAY...THUMBZ UP RED!!!!

"Picture it. 1953 somewhere in Alabama. 2 young men Charles "Red" Farmer and his friend Wayne Kackley driving down the highway in a Hudson 1953 roll cage and suitcases in the trunk listening to the radio on the way to race at Daytona" . We should do a movie about that😂
